@stephenrobles.com have you experienced success with “Screen unknown callers”? I had to switch it off as it asked my wife for her reason for calling 😂. In fact it asked every caller despite many being in my contact list.

@stephenrobles.com Apple stopped working on fixing issue in Find My in family - I am not able to set notification in Find My for my daughter when is leaves a location when is not at a given location (school). I sent paper letter to Federighi, got some contact but it died down. Worth a discussion?

In my previous article, I wrote about the inherent incompatibility of Active Directory with modern enterprise security architectures and cloud strategies. Another design vulnerability was presented at BlackHat USA on 6th August 2025.

read the fine print of your insurance policies; the most important section is called “Exclusions”. It is usually cheaper to put MFA in than later not being paid the insurance claim.

Hey there! I was wondering if potholes are similar to IT issues if we pay road contractors per pothole / IT issue? This approach doesn’t drives improvements. After all, contractors are motivated to fix as many potholes as possible, rather than focusing on long-term quality. What do you think?

For IT managers in SME: if you want a secure yet convenient remote access to company devices, I recommend RustDesk and @tailscale.com Configure RustDesk not allow direct IP access and not to advertise anything to the Internet. The security of connection is delivered by Tailscale.

@nathanmcnulty.com thank you for the excellent podcast on operational groups. It’s great to see the ingenious ways to plug vast gaps that Microsoft leaves in their disjointed products.

Since Apple might take away Advanced Data Encryption from existing users in the UK, I’ve been on the hunt for a better alternative. And guess what? I found one. It’s called Syncthing from syncthing.net and is proudly mentioned on the SecurityNow podcast.

This story resonates with me. Technology companies don’t communicate with parents sufficiently about the options available protect their family in these situations. That said, as a parent, I find it strange that it took them so long to even notice this, especially as their daughter is 8 years old.
